Anglerfish Patch
~4”x6.5” Felt Embroidered Patch with Iron On Backing
This anglerfish is a lesbian. You don't have to be a lesbian to buy it, but it would be pretty cool if you were.
When I originally stitched out this patch, I was thinking a lot about a poem my brother had shared with me, "To The Young Anglerfish" by Kay Ryan. I was also thinking of a cherished art piece on my wall made by my friend Carolina Cruz, of an anglerfish saying "Hey gurl, you like light?" This anglerfish is part of an existing precedent of lesbian symbolism.
The metallic threads in this piece give it extra sparkle and movement in person.
Image 1 ID: An anglerfish embroidered on black felt, it's body mostly made up of a variegated green thread that gives a glinting scale appearance. Its fins are paler greens and yellows.
